Why do you see a sailboat moving across the water in our header image? Because we know that authentic change is a JOURNEY, not something that can be accomplished with outdated methods,or in offering your educators two days per year, or an hour per week of "professional development". You may have noticed that this has been the norm for decades, AND that it ISN'T WORKING!

Welcome! Education in the 21st century is most accurately represented as a journey - a journey of exploration! This journey is guided by compasses, rather than maps. ​We are driven by the belief that in order to prepare today's students for success in life, schools must become "21st century" . . . . we are committed to partnering with and supporting you to make this vision a reality.

Our specialties are professional development and curriculum design, enhanced by an intentionally designed 21st century learning environment . . . see what sets us apart!

Brand new for 2018!
